“I know that aircraft shots rarely do well in competitions but thought I'd try, this is about a 25% crop of the original and tilted to give that dramatic efffect, I softened the background and added a bit of clarity and sharpness to the jet.Taken at the Mach Loop in Wales, these jets are flying past around 450 knots and due to height advantage of being on the hill they are flying straight in front of you mostly and some even lower.CheersRob”

“Taken In Stratford-Upon-Avon. I don't know if the boat owners were in fact going to the Shakespeare theatre but it makes for a nice story (and title). I have tried to hold back the highlights on the boat quite a bit and bring out the shadow detail in the theatre. I especially liked the somewhat out of keeping solitary Tudor house in the background as a third recessive layer / subject. ”

“I checked through a few of my waterfall pictures and I think the water speed capture is definitely a personal view as I have used from1/500 s to 0.3 S. I tend to prefer around 1/15 s myself. ”

“Yes I would also prefer this version with the middle being colour. It is an intersting idea showing a window on the world.”

“I'm sure this was click-bait :-) Most of the images on the link are far superior to this one. For me the one's with even a snippet of sky don't work so well as the eye is drawn there, as is the case here. The ones without sky are superb, especially the one with the bridge/walkway.Cheers, Des :-)”

“Very nice Dave. I like the detail you've managed to keep inside the cab and his wistful expression. I think his hand is a little bit too bright though, and there's a texture on the left bottom edge which looks a tad out of place.Cheers, Des :-)”

“I like this, and think the black block provides welcome negative space to frame the door. I'm assuming there's plenty of detail in the floor and door, but difficult to see in this resolution. My only concern is the bright border on the floor right against the negative space.Cheers, Des :-)”

“Taken from one platform through a window to another platform. I like the window and included part of the Ikea advert for context. I've converted the outside to mono, and have another reversed image where the inside is mono. Do either work?”

“Had a wander across to Pontneddfechan to the Eildir trail to have a try with the waterfalls and experimenting with different shutter speeds to maintain some texture and detail to the water, this image was taken at 1/5 sec which I seemed to prefer as any slower just washed out the detail. I had real difficulties with the harsh lighting as by the time I reached this waterfall it was mid-day and had to really bring up the shadows with masks, I did try bracketing but when I merged the individual image in Lightroom it left the water looking odd with strange details which did not look natural at all.If interested then further examples from the day can be seen on my portfolio Page - https://robbullingham.myportfolio.com/web-waterfallsCheersRob”

“It is a dramatic B&W and an interesting door. The only prolem I have is that there is a very large Black area. Was there anything of interest there which could be brought out or, if not, what about adding something. I keep a stock of ghosts, priests and monks for such occassions.Dave”

“A nice capture that is in keeping with our upcoming speaker Barry Webb, who photographs this kind of thing. Definitely shows that photos can be taken in unlikely places. The letterbox crop seems to be an effective choice to remove distractions. ”

Then you could also crop the RHS to the edge of the tree to get rid of the metal post and get a nearly square image, which i think would work better.Cheers, Des :-)”

“Not sure if this works or not, was thinking of pattern themes, it was taken on the recent severn project walk across in Wales and was struck by the lines of these pylons, the light was dire with a flat grey cloud hense the mono approach. I was standing underneath the pylon and the original picture had more of the structure but to my eye the main point that interested me was this lower part, only wish I had spent more time perfecting the alignment with the pylons.”

“I took this this morning in a car park. I was struck by the striking contrast and then noticed the sign saying 'Danger Of Death' which is enhanced by the ghostly trees. Pretty much a straight image but put a bit of texture on it to bring out the textures already there. I'm not sure what to think about this image so put it here for comments. ”

“Wandering around a very grey wet day in Brixham last week and this image seemed to be the only source of any colour, I was intially taken by the shape of this blue boat against the grey water then noticed the young gull perched at the front. I've cloned out a few of the distracting reflections in the water and the mooring rope to the rear to emphasis the boat more and also toned down the orange of the lifebuoys along with a slight vignette to draw the viewer in.Rob”

Because of I don’t know the men so because of privacy I don’t think I will show it publicly.Can anyone think of a better title?”

The man in red has a good space to the left edge, but the people top and bottom are too close to the edge for me.I think it would work better if the chap at the bottom was in the right hand bottom corner, as this area is a bit empty while the left hand side is a bit too cramped.I do like the angle though and like that nothing is square and there's a reasonable amount of the gray paving chopped off.Cheers, Des :-)”

“The problem for me is having mentioned the Constable painting, I had a quick look to remind me. While you may well have captured to scene accurately, Constable used to opportunity to present it differently. You might try to reduce the saturation of the greens and increase the saturation of other colours a little and it will have more impact. I think that you also need more of a focal point than the duck, perhaps a hay wain or?Dave”

“Be interested in your thoughts on this image, I'm not sure if it works or not. It was taken along the Walsall Canal on a cold and very gray day, I had some time to kill so armed with the camera I took a walk down this stretch of basically very run down industrial wasteland. Given the subject matter I set the camera to monochrome and took a series of images documenting the area, I was drawn to this particular shot with the three people walking the dog which added that bit of human interest.If your interested the rest of the series can be seen on my portfolio page at :https://robbullingham.myportfolio.com/2025-01-12-walsall-canalCheersRob”

“I do like this, but before reading any comments I thought -'the ladder has to go', if you crop to just inside the ladder it eleminates most of the tarmac, and what's left is fine for me. I would like a sliver added on to the bottom to complete the first flower pot, and if possible to put the brown edging/step right into the corner. You could probably do with a tiny bit added on to the top to give the first set of chimneys some room, and clone out the first aerial.It is a very pleasing image.Cheers, Des :-)”

“This is lovely, I think a little crop off the bottom so that the big builder is just seated, and a crop on the right so that the boulder in the water still has water flowing round it (and the bushy tree well above it is not cropped off), would emphasise a curve from big boulder, granite boulder, sea boulder, then round the headland to the tree. This also has the benefit of removing the bland rock at the bottom right.Cheers, Des :-)”

“Very glad to have given you inspiration :-) The sky is not helping, but as you say you're close so can wait for a better day. I'm not convinced by the composition though, I think a judge would say it's two images, a tree and a building - but there may be a better angle where there's much more of one than the other, e.g. show a letterbox of the bulding with a small section of the tree. I think the building looks like it's leaning back so needs the vertical tool to sort it out.Cheers, Des :-)”

“Yes I agree you need all the figures in. I really like the concept of this image and mono seems to work. To me although it is important for the hat to jump out and be the whitest thing I feel the background is too bright and the statues not bright enough, maybe this was just the light on the day. There just seems to be something in need of adjustments in the range of tones here. But my advice is to persist with this picture as I think it is very well seen and that hat brings the statues to life in my view. ”

“This is a recent shot taken 10 minutes' walk from my house, I saw this scene on a walk and came back with my camera to capture it. I have put it here as I'm really unbiased as to whether it works or not, so all comments welcome!I was initially drawn to the image because I liked the colour and shape of the tree and the contrast with the building. The way I have framed the building is inspired by Des's photo last month. Unfortunately the weather was so poor that I did not manage to get the shot with an interesting sky before the leaves began to look less impressive so I did what I could. However, with hindsight a sunny day may have caused unwanted reflections on the building behind so maybe the overcast weather helped. ”

“Hi Saul,I think that is much better. Maybe 2 or 3 percent of black on the clipboard clip would make it look less burnt out.David”
David Adamson made a comment on Forgotten Writings Updated Version 7 months 3 weeks ago
“I don't know why, but it's the 'colour' of their shirts that doesn't quite gel for me, I want them to be darker or just more contrasty as I keep getting drawn to their dark trousers. I would also crop off the crests at the top (unless you've got a bit more of the rightmost one - when I'd rotate to get them all sitting at the same height). Actually, if you crop to just below the collars of the hanging shirts (so there's no white showing), it really emphasises the four guys and the shirts behind.”
Des Ward made a comment on Programme Notes 7 months 3 weeks ago
“I'm not sure about the feathers clipping the moon, it looks accidental rather than on purpose to me. I've never really seen the 'man in the moon', but you could probably darken some of the crater areas to add a bit of contrast and possibly give the impression of the man in the moon looking at the owl?”
Des Ward made a comment on Rond 9 - Fly Me To The Moon 7 months 3 weeks ago
“For me, the light fall off is a little too harsh. It looks like a still life so you should have full control of the light (I can see from the comments that you didn't) but a judge wouldn't know that. There's also a blue edge to the shadow at the bottom which looks a little strange. I think it's also missing a compelling point of interest - a skull anyone?”
Des Ward made a comment on 2024 Round 9 - Forgotten Writings 7 months 3 weeks ago
“I agree with what's been said, I do like the movement in the sticks, and it might be heaps better if you could sympathetically darken down the posters (especially the leftmost one).”
Des Ward made a comment on 2024 Round 9 - The Drummer 7 months 3 weeks ago
“This is great, I've tried this over Tewkesbury abbey but not got anything nearly this good. I'm not sure about the black and white cathedral - i think it could do with warming up to complement the light coming from the moon.”
Des Ward made a comment on 2024 Round 9 - Try for the Moon 7 months 3 weeks ago
“Very pleasing image, I'm not bothered by the background, but the lighter bark at bottom left keeps drawing my eye, so I would look at darkening that down a tad. I like the composition, but you could crop some off the top to put the right hand ear nearer the top right corner.”
Des Ward made a comment on Round 9 Jelly Ear fungi 7 months 3 weeks ago
“An interesting grouping. I found some of this in Queen's Wood near Southam. I was looking low down for any fungai then suddenly the Jelly Fungus at eye level. Not sure I could suggest nay improvement though the colours seem a little over saturated.”
Dave Hyett made a comment on Round 9 Jelly Ear fungi 7 months 3 weeks ago
“Interesting photo, I like the contrasts of bark, fungi and lichen. The background does draw my attention but sometimes with nature there is little you can do about it I suppose. ”
Saul Scott made a comment on Round 9 Jelly Ear fungi 7 months 3 weeks ago
“This photo of Jelly Ears fungi (I think) was taken at Slimbridge. The background on the right was quite bright which I have tried to tone down. I cropped it slightly to remove a small bright patch on the top left side.”
David Haigh made a comment on Round 9 Jelly Ear fungi 7 months 3 weeks ago
“The more I look at this image the more I like it the bold colour with the single window to the left and the converging pattern of windows to the right leading you out of the image. The only thing that detracts my eye is that the start of the second row of windows has been cropped at the top .Well Spotted.”
Rob Bullingham made a comment on Round 9 - Perspective 7 months 3 weeks ago
“A great snapshot documenting the life in the changing rooms, personally I haven't any issues with there being four of them, it kind of complements the six shirts hanging up behind them.”
Rob Bullingham made a comment on Programme Notes 7 months 3 weeks ago
“I really like the concept of this image and the position of the owls tail feathers just clipping the moon, in my opinion, is just right, I would agree that the owl could be darkened down slightly and maybe in this context the moon could be a brighter white, and finally a square crop.”

“I would like to see more of it. For architecture, we are often encourage to try to compensate for perspective by "correcting" in PS or by using a Tilt & Shift lens but I often prefer to just blatently show the non-parallel lines as we see them which can then emphasise the height, shape or design of the building. ”

I did try bringing up the shadows but felt it looked a bit false and not as I remembered the scene, be interested in your thoughts.Taken at 160th / F9 with 1000 iso with a few light tweaks in LR to minimise the noise and darken down some of the bright clouds.CheersRob”

“Tattoo shots are usually produced in colour, but as I was trying out my new monochrome camera I thought I'd give it a go and was pleased with the result. This is a pop-up tatoo studio at Sudeley Fantasy Forest Festival. I love pictures that tell a story, and I think this one does that. The client lying down on the left is having her first tattoo...she bravely allowed me in! I like the flow of the picture from the prone client to first one tattoo artist then the other, and finally to the arm being worked on. Of course you wouldn't normally leave a stray limb at the edge of the shot but I felt here it helped the story and gave the male tattooist a role. Just my view, of course.”

“Wandering along the canal at Stonehouse the other day and was taken by this derelict building on the opposite side with the textures of the rusty roof all being taken over by the trees and foliage. I had originally thought of a mono approach which looked ok on the back of the camera but wasn't sure when I got it into Lightroom. The original version did include some of the canal but I felt that it detracted from the actual building so was cropped in a bit, other tweaks include a radial selection mask to adjust the actual building to make it stand out more to the eye and another to soften the foliage, I've also tried to address the bright area of sky in the top left but decided against cloning as it was not what I saw on the day.CheersRob”

“Interesting picture, and well seen. I can see why you may be wondering about cropping, it seems a very 'busy' image, but then that maybe best conveys the location? Not sure myself, but if you were to crop, one suggestion would be to create two images by dividing it down the column just left of centre... although it's kind of good just as it is.

I often think of that. Same here...a wide aperture would make it a picture of the lifebelt and steps.”

Up on the hill watching F15's & F35's flying through the valleys by 8:30 in the morning.This image was taken at 2000th sec @ f4 and pretty much filled the frame at 200mm zoom, I wanted to use a slower shutter speed to blur the background but wanted a few in the bag beforehand. What I like about these exercises is that you get to see the aircrafts fully kitted out for action and with more interesting backdrops, although this particular day was a tad hazy and the photos did suffer so had to be tweaked slightly in Lightroom.Not sure how this particular subject will do in front of judges in either open or action subject rounds, be interested in hearing your thoughts.CheersRob”

“I like the idea of this, but I'm afraid for me it's not working. I think the problem is the positioning of the lifebouy and the background. The background is not working and I think because the lifebouy and steps are in the same plane you could shoot this wide open (F1.8 if possible) to blur the background which will focus on them to the exclusion of everything else. You could also shoot from a little lower so that the lifebouy is totally out of the water with just blurred building behind it. Obviously I would never have thought of that out in the field :-) but is seems to make sense to me now!”

“Excellent! What an iconic place... so used to seeing it in colour but the B&W makes it seem as if it literally is an image from the 1950's as if taken from an old movie. ”

“Well done for producing this dramatic image, I think you really got into the spirit not only of Bill Ward, but also of Camera Club, in so far as using the talks to influence your experimentation and style. I like how it is vaguely recognisable but blurry enough to be slightly ambiguous... Something Bill's photos seem to have. ”

“after Bill Ward's fabulous talk I had to take my big camera on a weekend barge trip with friends, this was a 9 shot multiple exposure - this is as shot just the jpeg cropped a bit, there is more refelctions and water at the base but not sure it was bringing anything to the party”

“This image was taken under an apple tree in our garden where fungi had grown on some bare earth. I replaced a rotting apple with a fresh one. I thought the fungi had intresting shapes and colour, and the apple gave some contrast.”

“My honest opinion is that this is an awesome photo! Just super different and eye-catching. Kind of looks pretty good how it is, but no harm in trying bringing out the details if you want. I always find it's good to try things different ways and then choose. I can tell it probably took some patience, and as far as I'm concerned it paid off!”

“Had an hour to spare at Plymouth so tried capturing the lights of the local fairground, the image does consist of a couple of stacked layers as I couldnt get the rides in sync when I had the shutter open, I've had to clone out a couple of bright lights but not sure to if its worth trying to get some more detail in the stars in the sky.CheersRob”
